A mass m moving horizontally with velocityvo strikes a pendulum of mass m. If the twomasses stick together after the collision,then the maximum height reached by thependulum is.2(a) 02g8g(c) y2vog

Answer»

Let us take that the pendulum is at rest initially and after the collision the velocity of the system is V .Now from the conservation of momentum we have ,Initial Momentum = Final Momentum⇒mv+m×0=⎛⎝⎜m+m⎞⎠⎟×V⇒mv=2mV⇒V=v/2Nowletustakethattheblockrisestomaximumheighth.So,P.Eofthecombination=K.Eofthecombination⇒(m+m)gh=1/2(m+m)V2⇒2mgh=mV2⇒h=V2/2g⇒h=(v/2)2/2g=v2/8g
